Rock Band unites everyone.  It’s a clear fact.  Deedee makes mention of it.

On top of my Draft stack, I have a post called Rock Band: A Social Commentary, in which I will dive deep into its impacts on socialization and society.  It’s actual quite interesting with graphs and charts and quotes and the like.  Stay tuned.

Anyways, here’s an announcement for everyone with Rock Band.  Free song download!  Still Alive from VALVe’s sleeper hit Portal will be available for download tomorrow (April 1st) for free.  Yes, free.  This is hopefully no April Fool’s joke.  Sorry PS3 owners, you won’t be getting it until the 17th of April.  Fire up your XBL and download this track and play Portal if you have the time.  It’s a great game.

Just a reminder, that from 8:00pm to 9:00pm Saturday, March 29 to turn out the lights for Earth Hour.  Google’s going to. What can you do in an hour of darkness?  Light up a candle and read a book, play a boardgame, look through old photo albums, take a stroll.  You can think of more creative things than I can.

This is also to plug in Adobe’s new Photoshop Express, which I used to edit the screenshot above.  It’s a neat little tool if you want to edit images when you’re on the go.

No, sorry Dungeons and Double Dragons fans, this is not for you.

The past week, I’ve had the privelege of being around some people who I will sorely miss.  Granted they’re only an 8 or 9 or 10 hour drive away, but it still won’t be the same.  The background, Dale and Deedee are moving to Calgary to be in the rodeo, figuratively of course: the rodeo of life.  The foreground, this.

Tonight a whole bunch of us got together, sat in Dale’s mom’s kitchen, where we would do the same many moons ago to talk, as we did, many moons ago.  We talked about the times where we would sit around that same table when we were 5, 6, 7 years younger.  We talked about the times where they (the odd time I would tag along with them) as teenagers would hang out until 4 o’ clock in the morning several times a week and get in trouble for it.  About the camps, about the parties, about who liked whom and what happened to what.

It felt like I was 14 again, sitting there because things were the same: the people, the place.  But we were all grown-up now (I use the term loosely, very loosely).  7 in the room were married.  1 of their children were there.  All the people were in their twenties.  But things were the same.  The time only changed.

So, to close.  Dale and Deedee I look forward to the time when we’re all together again sitting in the same place with the same people but in a time different from now.

Get a house soon, so I can visit.

I’ll take a brief break from studying.

I was thinking about what I was supposed to write today, but I can’t remember (note to self, when you have something to write about, write away right away).

Anyways, I’d like to comment on my previous entry like a bone.

I lied.

After yesterday’s post, readership went up to an all time high?

This is just a placeholder post for one that I must write tomorrow.  Sorry for getting your hopes up.

Have an awesome night.
